sound familiar?
Nick Saban did it to the Miami Dolphins and Billy Donovan did it to the Magic (and that's just in the last year)
but what makes this story different
well, for one
Nick Saban left a powerhouse at LSU to go to the Miami Dolphins and when it was clear things weren't working out he headed right back to the greener pastures of college football. Yes it was clear that Saban worked the system for a BUTTLOAD of money, but even worse the team he left behind is one of the NFL's most storied franchises and now is desperately trying to avoid the inevitable karma of constantly rubbing 17-0 in everyone's faces. Now are the winless Dolphins Saban's fault? probably not but it still can't be overlooked.
Donovan pretty much gets an exemption because he was the head coach of Orlando for all of a weekend...
but Petrino is different. Petrino was hired when he (and everyone else in the world) believed that the most exciting player in football would be on the field for him. While what has happend to Mike Vick is not the Falcon's fault it nevertheless changes the face of the team and I believe that Petrino should've been able to leave then. When a school fires a coach it's recruits can opt out of their letters of intent. The same is the same with certain players, Mike Vick isn't just some quarterback he is arguably the greatest Athlete in the game, take him out of the equation and Petrino never leaves Louisville.
oh and what do Saban, Donovan and Petrino have in common?
the Selfish Egotistical Coaches...one of the marquee collegiate conferences
